Assignment Instructions:

Prepare a Microsoft Word document outlining your Implementation Plan. Microsoft Excel® and Microsoft

Project can be used to supplement your plan. If you do not use Excel, make sure to put your budget in a Word

table format.

This document should follow a structured approach, and you should use the following outline. The items in

BOLD should be your paragraph headings for your paper. What follows the headings should be the content of

that section of the paper.

1. Project Background: Title and contact information of your client. A short summary of your project

background. This should be repeated from previous documents.

2. Project Timeline: This will include milestones, tasks/deliverables, resources assigned, and

dependencies. This can be done with Microsoft Project, if you wish, or with Microsoft Excel. It should

either be cut and pasted into the document at this point or embedded in your document.

3. Budget: This budget should contain multiple itemizations and should include all costs and expenses.

The budget should be detailed and use realistic (and referenced) figures. The student’s time is

considered a billable expense. Normally a budget would be done with Excel. If so, in this case, either

cut and paste the budget into your paper or embed the spreadsheet in your document.

4. Project Risks: Some common risks may include deviations from schedule, reduced budget, scope

creep, content development delays, and compromised data security. Consider an alternative plan to

help mitigate the risks.

5. Schematic/Wireframe/Flowchart: Include one schematic, wireframe, or flowchart. Could be used to

demonstrate development cycle, interface design, network topology, sitemap flowchart. Choose visual

guide appropriate for your project. Use software of your choice. Embed graphics into paper; do not

upload as a separate file.

6. Conclusion and references: A brief concluding paragraph describing this Assignment. Also, include

the references for your vendors and suppliers used to create your budget.
